Existing applications and licences
17 Existing applications and licences
The amendments to sections 14, 16 and 19 made by the amending Act—
apply for all licences, whether granted before or after the commencement, and
extend to an application for a licence or for the renewal or restoration of a licence that was made, but not finally determined, before the commencement, and
for a licence that expired before the commencement—extend to an application for restoration of the licence made during the period set out in section 13B(1).
Despite the operation of subclause (1), the Commissioner must not, under section 25 or 26 as amended by the amending Act, suspend or cancel a licence held by an existing licensee on the ground that the existing licensee has been convicted of a disqualifying offence.
In this clause—
commencement means the commencement of the amending Act, Schedule 1[18].
existing licensee means a person who held a licence before the commencement that—
was in force immediately before the commencement, and
has not expired, or been renewed or restored under this Act, after the commencement.
